Where's the disruption exactly? Everytime I look at the 3D printing scene its a bunch of neckbeards printing Star Wars figures and other useless knick-nacks. What industry has cheap 3D printing attacked? The argument seemed to be "Oh we'll make spare parts and such," but that never happened. It was supposed to make a new market, but seems to have completely fizzled out.
- nhaehnle 11y ago3D printing has been huge in design prototyping for a long time - and at least SpaceX have used 3D-printed parts in actual flight.

- api 11y agoSpaceX is 3d printing rocket engines, for one.
- drzaiusapelord 11y agoYeah but that has absolutely nothing to do with home 3D printers that make cheap junk using plastic. We've had 3D printing, in some form or another, for decades for industry.
